Echavarria, a Colombian who played at the University of Arkansas, birdied two of the final three holes – including the 18th – to add to the title he won last year at the Puerto Rico Open.
He finished at 20-under 260 at the Narashino Country Club, located about 50 miles (80 kilometers) from central Tokyo. It’s course record, topping the 261 Tiger Woods shot in winning in 2019.
“It´s incredible to win a tournament that Tiger´s won,” Echavarria said, setting up a joke. “This is my second victory, so I just need 80 more victories to catch him. I´m on my way, though.” Echavarria said the win last year helped build his confidence. “I don´t think I would have won this week without the victory in Puerto Rico,” he said. “I pulled a lot from that moment in the last round on Sunday in Puerto Rico, I used it a lot this week to stay patient, stay calm.”
